What the most commonly used hijacker distribution methods are

It is surely important to remove Wap Coriolis “Virus” from your computer so that the nagging ads stop to flood your screen and so that your browser gets back to normal. Another good reason for removing the hijacker is the potentially questionable quality of some of the ads – some of them may be misleading and deceitful and in some cases even unsafe.

However, another really important aspect of keeping your computer safe and clean is ensuring you don’t’ get any more such software on it. To avoid hijackers, we recommend that you never open any online messages and letters that look like they could be spam and also to stay away from any questionable looking web adverts, offers, update requests, sites and pages. Additionally, it is of great importance that you always explore the advanced setup settings of any software installer that you open on your computer. Oftentimes, different software installers contain added (bonus) applications bundled with the main program and this software distribution method is oftentimes used to spread browser hijackers like Wap Coriolis “Virus” as well. This is why you really need to pay close attention to what exactly you are installing on your computer so as to avoid any unpleasant surprises.
